List every IR conflict...

So when asked to list every conflict that has some connection to religion, I turned to the rest of the "Terrorism & the Clash" group and maintained that every event that could be studied in the course of IR history has to do with religion. The only one I can possibly exclude is World War I, and I'm not sure why. Even something like the Spanish Armada is religiou; part of Spain's motivation for conquering England was to instate a Catholic monarch in a Protestant country. It's something that people carry with them very closely.

This can also be a huge problem at times. It's stupid to assume that different religions can't get along. My roommate, who sits in the room while I type this, is Jewish while I am Presbyterian. And while I grew up in a 60% Jewish hometown and am used to that particular religion, we get along fine. It's similar to how Gabe said his roommate is a Muslim. If we're brought up to be tolerant of other religions but still practice whatever we find most appealing then we shouldn't have conflict. However in some places other religious groups are villified and antagonized, and this creates the problems that our world labels religious problems. Muslisms and Jews get along fine in many areas of the world, including the US, but not near Israel. That's because that is a conflict in which religion is what defines nations and certain religions just can't get along.
